Space Invaders Fingerless Gloves From Urban Outfitters

Arcade Fingerless Gloves: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

This is one pair of gloves I wouldn't call practical — but they're kind of cute. Though they won't keep your fingers warm in the Winter chill, the Snow Day Arcade Fingerless Gloves ($16) will keep your fingers free for texting and, presumably, video-game playing.

The gloves (hmm. . . can I call them gloves if they don't have fingers?) feature vintage video-game designs, like this Space Invaders-themed pair. They're cute, but are they cute enough to make up for cold fingers? What do you think?

I'd wear them. My hands get cold during the winter when I'm at my computer, and while fingerless gloves aren't as warm as regular ones, they do actually help. And I dislike wearing regular gloves, makes it too hard to type or game!
